They dynamically load +the command buffer as a shared library and thus no GYP/GN flags are +required. + +The command buffer standalone shared library is built in a Chromium checkout +by building the 'command_buffer_gles2' target. The command buffer should be +built with the is_component_build in GN set to false. This will produce a .so, +.dylib, or .dll depending on the target OS. This should be copied alongside +the dm or nanobench executable built from a Skia repository. + +Both tools have a 'commandbuffer' config which can be used with the --config +option to the tool and will run the tests or benchmarks using the command buffer +library. Unit tests in dm always run on all appropriate and available backends +regardless of the --config flag. + |
